Sad that the only somewhat promising way to get in touch with Youtube support is on a completely different platform...(Twitter via Team Youtube) Usually a cookie-cutter response. It's almost impossible to actually connect with fans on Youtube. That too, best done off-platform.

Here's earnings on a single video from two days ago. $233 for 150,000 views. This had 4 mid-roll ads, was a 30 min video and commanded a large amount of watch time. How the fuck does this seem fair? I spent that on the video itself. Trains to NYC, food, etc. It took 24 hours.pic.twitter.com/ZfQSFRXiSW

In other words, with traveling, food, setup, filming, editing, etc...And taking 24 hours.... I could've worked at McDonald's for $10 an hour and made more than commanding the attention of over 150,000 people. Truly think about that number.

Citizens Bank Park in Philly holds 43,000 people at capacity. This is 3x that. The revenue disparity for commanding comparable levels of attention is astounding. Understanding viewers are watching for free, but that ad rev is abysmal compared to what I know Google is taking in.

Let's scale that a little further...Here was one of my best months during the Psycho Series. 83,000,000 views in 30 days, which netted LESS THAN $1.00 per thousand views. Would LOVE to see another Youtuber with similar viewership share their analytics for a month! TAG THEM!pic.twitter.com/6uLvIc0IJe

Those videos were over 30 mins in length, with most having over 4 mid-roll ads. There's no reason for that low ad rev (yes, it's a fuckton of money) COMPARED to that amount of watch time/views. Now if you don't believe me, let me show you some StoryFire analytics.

Below are StoryFire earnings and CPM's. Notice that it is 9x - 10x that of Youtube's and we are STILL a relatively new company. So why is Google (with billions in revenue) stifling cpm. Also note that these are for impressions, not views. So the views would technically be less.pic.twitter.com/UyFOvZLaS7

So taking the video I sampled earlier that received 150k views and made $230. My 3x shorter video on StoryFire made $400 off of only 30k views. So that's almost TWICE the revenue with a shorter video that only got 1/5th of the views. Not to mention I had creative freedom.

My biggest problem with Youtube is as a STORYTELLER, I cannot create what I want to create and be compensated fairly for it. Here is my episodic drama, "My Virtual Escape", which I took home a Streamy for and did very well view-wise per episode.pic.twitter.com/KSMzlFuAKi

EVERY SINGLE EPISODE OF THIS NARRATIVE WAS DEMONETIZED. THE PILOT IS AGE-RESTRICTED. I lost well over $30,000 dollars on this series and MADE NOTHING...yet this is my best work. Meanwhile, Youtube premium has series that have cursing, drugs, fights etc....NO FUCKING SUPPORT!

@YTCreators @TeamYouTube the video scanner IS AN ABSURD. Get RID of it. U're killing our expression. Can do nothing adult.
Advertisers pay ads to violent movies on TV. U're out of ur MIND.
